 "Talbros Automotive starts heat shield production line in Faridabad")
The Gurgaon-based Talbros Automotive Components Ltd, an integrated player in the automotive components industry, commenced operations at new dedicated heat shield line at its Faridabad (Haryana) plant on February 4, 2016. Heat shields are used to insulate heat, sound and vibration in automobile engines, electric generator engines and exhaust pipes.
Even as heat shield products are used in the manufacture of heavy and medium commercial vehicles in India, they are not used in passenger cars (except for export-bound cars). As Indian automobile engines become increasingly compact and emission standards more demanding, the use of heat shield products is expected to become mandatory for Indian passenger cars as well.
Talbros is seeing this as an emerging opportunity and has established the new dedicated heat shield line. The company has also entered into a technological alliance with Japan’s Sanwa Packaging to manufacture pure aluminium heat shields for the passenger car segment.
“The new dedicated line will support in catering to larger orders in the coming financial year. The division has reputed clients such as Volvo Eitcher India and Volvo in US,” said Talbros in a press release.
The company already supplies heat shields to prominent heavy commercial vehicle customers like Daimler, Tata Motors, VE Commercial Vehicles, Volvo and Ashok Leyland.
